Abstract

Monitoring animals in the wild without disturbing them is possible using camera trapping framework. Automatic triggered cameras, which take a burst of images of animals in their habitat, produce great volumes of data, but often result in low image quality. This high volume data must be classified by a human expert. In this work a two step classification is proposed to get closer to an automatic and trustfully camera-trap classification system in low quality images. Very deep convolutional neural networks were used to distinguish images, firstly between birds and mammals, secondly between mammals sets. The method reached \(97.5\%\) and \(90.35\%\) in each task. An alleviation mode using a confidence threshold of automatic classification is proposed, allowing the system to reach \(100\%\) of performance traded with human work.
